Can you love the you in the mirror.

This is the last part of this series, if you haven’t checked out the Part 1 and Part 2, feel free to click the link 1, 2. Before I decided to start my business. I spend one year to work on myself. I know there are many areas of my life are lacking. I have my struggle and fear I need to deal with. So I spend one year with Landmark Forum. I have gone through their entire curriculum. That one year is a lot of ups and downs. Initially the reason I want to attend landmark forum is to improve my career path. I wasn’t very happy with my work as an associate in a big corporation. I felt that my true potential was not exploited and every day I was just clock in and clock out. I was killing my dream one day at time.

One thing I have learned through my one year of self discovery is, I constantly judge myself.

“Why ain’t you skinny enough, why ain’t you pretty enough, why ain’t you smart enough,”

The internal conversation gets louder and louder. If something didn’t happen the way I wanted it, it is just reinforce with my story of me not being good enough. To breakthrough you must to be complete with yourself. Be honest with yourself, and most importantly you need to able to forgive yourself.

Why I decided to join Nutrigirl 2016

As a health care provider, if you really want to public take you seriously, you must represent your brand. Before I started my own practice I was 65kg with close to 30% body fat! I was constantly tired even I had 8 hours of sleep and I had an issue fall in sleep every night. I was constantly taking melatonin to help me to sleep. If I were 100% authentic about myself, I would agree yes the physique I am having now, I am not satisfied with it. It doesn’t represent what I believe and it surely doesn’t represent my brand. Otherwise, I always have the argument of “hey,you should be confident with your body, don’t follow the the public standard of fitness and beauty”. But it is not what I think of myself authentically.

Do you want a breakthrough? Take the unthinkable action

Okay, what will be something that totally doesn’t follow my logic. Join a local fitness model competition. I have close to 5 months to get ready on the stage wearing nothing but two pieces of tiny bikini that just barely covers your private body parts. Instead of getting into my internal conversation of I am not ready, I am too busy to do this, I can’t achieve that. I put that internal voices aside and just get into the action. Along this journey of transformation I have met many wonderful ladies and made a splash in the community for my brand.

My advice to you

This is the last part of me sharing my struggle with all of you. Just like anything in life. Nothing is easy , nothing is given to you except your life but it can taken away very easily and quickly. If you are unhappy with where you are right now, get into action, get your ass to do the bitch work. That is it. There is no quick way or easy way for success, every single person who has made it, their stories are very similar. Everyone of them worked their ass off and put their pride and ego behind. The entitlement won’t get you anywhere, refuse to change or reform won’t get you anywhere, able to do the bitch work does. It is no accident that 2% of population controls the 80% of wealth in this world. Majority of people are willing to give up their drive, live a somewhat mediocre life, then they die. If you are one them, fine, your life will be very predictable. If you refuse to live a life of mediocrity, get into action instead then stay in  your head.

 

I wish you all success and fulfillments in life.
